Description

Woodwell Barn, constructed of reclaimed brick and local limestone under a slate roof, offers an opportunity to own a stylish and beautiful barn-style property in an exceptional rural position.


The property has been designed and built with design, sustainability and low maintenance in mind. It offers spacious and flexible accommodation over two floors with modern, energy efficient technologies. Outside, the 0.25 acre (or thereabouts) gardens wraps around the property, with a gated gravelled driveway providing parking for several vehicles and access to a double bay oak-framed carport.


Ground Floor Accommodation:
The design and finish of this fabulous home aims to capture the character of the barn that formerly occupied this site. The exposed oak frame creates a striking barn style entrance, opening into the sensational, light filled dining hall, with views through the house to the garden and the farmland beyond.


Complete with a bespoke oak staircase, herringbone LVT wood effect flooring and its full height vaulted ceiling, the dining hallway is an impressive room, providing the perfect space for family life and for entertaining. The large timber windows flood the central hallway with natural light, whilst underfloor heating throughout the ground floor creates a cosier feel.


The open plan family kitchen flows seamlessly from the dining hall, and is fabulous. With a sensational array of wall and base units set under quartz worktops and with brushed nickel hardware, the kitchen is fitted with integrated Bosch appliances, including dishwasher, fridge and freezer, with a double Belfast sink and boiling tap. It also has a Rangemaster cooker with induction hob and quartz splashback, and Caple wine cooler, whilst the central island provides additional storage and a breakfast bar for more informal dining. A useful boot room provides additional storage, and the utility offers space for appliances, with external access to the garden and carport.


The open plan family kitchen has a spacious, truss vaulted sitting room, with bi-folding doors to the south facing terrace. This sensational reception room also has a fabulous brick fireplace as a focal point, housing a wood-burning stove and, despite its height and volume, has a cosy feel with lovely views over the gardens and neighbouring countryside. The adjoining snug is a more intimate, dual-aspect room, permitting separation, with windows and French doors open onto the terrace, with a contemporary wood-burning stove.


The open plan dining hallway and family kitchen creates a fabulous and convivial ‘hub to the home’, with connectivity to the garden and terrace bringing the outdoors in and providing the perfect space for family life and entertaining.


The dining hallway also accesses a dual-aspect study, ideal for home working; dual-aspect double bedroom four, with French doors that open to the garden and; a shower room, which completes the ground floor accommodation.
